I've created PDF charts [1] for old and new version just to have a quick way for comparing the two: new version does contain more glyphs indeed. The obvious suggestion would be to introduce a mechanism fo stripping unneeded glyps out of the udeb as we already do for ttf-dejavu [2] and ttf-freefont [3] packages. 3 megabytes difference is quite alot, and I'd like to dig a bit more to understand if there's anything else which causes this increase: will probablyhave the chance to work on this tomorrow evening. BTW, I noticed the ttf file has been renamed from TibetanMachineUniAlpha.ttf to TibMachUni-1.901b.ttf ; any particular reason for such change? regards, Davide [1] http://alioth.debian.org/~zinosat-guest/ttf-tmuni/ [2] svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-fonts/packages/ttf-dejavu [3] svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-fonts/packages/ttf-freefont
